The Munster Schools Junior Cup or ** Munster Junior Cup** is the under-age rugby union competition for schools affiliated to the Munster Branch of the IRFU with team members under 16 years of age.

The County Tipperary school Rockwell College has won 20 titles, with the remaining titles (23 in all), won by mostly Limerick schools with the exception of one West Cork school, Bandon Grammar School.
